that was a cool movie. I was wondering. how would you stat out the gelfling, uru and skesis. Not to mention augra, the pod people, nebrie and that ball of fluff fizzgig. might be fun for a chuckle.

Not too many questions eh? The Uru & Skesis are tied together. Like 2 halves of a split soul. That would be hard to do me thinks.

The gelflings might be a bit more fun. The ball of fluff & teeth should not be to hard. think fluffy chiwawa (I know, mispelled but you get the point) with monster teeth.

Dusk's Oyasini are a direct rip off of Gelflings - basically the males (oyasoi) are the PHB halflings but the females (oyasi) have some small modifications given below.

[bq]Oyasi
The females of the Oyasini world are referred to as the oyasi. Their distinguishing characteristic is their wings, which can reach a span of up to 4 to 5 feet across. The wings are wisp thin, highly fragile and believed to be semi-magical, and they can be collapsed and hidden under flowing robes and cloaks.

Oyasi bone structure is more delicate than that of the males. They have a –2 adjustment to their constitution score.
So long as her wings are not bound in some way, an oyasi who is prepared for a fall can fall any distance without harm, covering the same distance each round as if feather fall where cast upon her. If she is caught off guard by a drop she will fall 30’ before her wings can snap into place, and it will take another 20 feet before her wings slow her fall to a safe speed. While falling in this manner the Oyasi can carry up to her own weight before the fall accelerates to a speed greater than her wings can compensate for. While she falls, she can move horizontally as if running (4x base move), and if she gets a run before she jumps she can increase her horizontal distance to 6x her base move each round she falls. An oyasi who comes under the effects of a levitate spell can fly outright as if fly had been used upon her. If fly is cast upon her, she will have perfect maneuverability.
In all other respects Oyasi are identical to the halflings in PHB.

Slightly OT, but did Dark Crystal scare the crap out of anybody besides me? I had nightmares about being turned into a mindless slave for a long time because of that...
